Fairfield police arrest 4 suspects in burglary case

Fairfield police are crediting an alert neighbor with the interruption of a home burglary Friday morning that ended with the arrests of four alleged suspects, officials reported.

Robert Adams, 18, Enacio Bolton, 20, Danny Jeffreys, 19, and Antoine Warrens, 19, all Fairfield residents, were taken into custody in connection to the 10:30 a.m. break-in in the 2800 block of Gulf Drive, according to the Fairfield Police Department.

A nearby resident called police to report "suspicious behavior" after watching as a vehicle parked on the street and its passengers got out and began knocking on the doors of homes in the neighborhood, police said. One particular neighbor had left their home just before the suspects arrived, the witness told authorities. The suspects knocked on the neighbor's front door and, after receiving no answer, allegedly walked into the side yard.

Arriving officers detained the driver of the vehicle, who had stayed in the car, and spotted the other suspects as they escaped from the back yard of the home, hopping fences into neighboring yards, police said.

Officers established a perimeter around the area and a California Highway Patrol helicopter responded to assist with the overhead search for the suspects, who were apprehended after a brief search.

During their investigation, which was assisted by detectives with the Major Crimes Unit, officers learned the side door of the victims' home had been forced open by the suspects, who then allegedly "searched and partially ransacked" the home.

Police found items taken from the residence discarded outside and later returned them to the victims, authorities said.

The suspects were booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of burglary and conspiracy.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 428-7600, the 24-hour tip line at 428-7345, or Solano Crime Stoppers at 644-7867, which gives callers the option of remaining anonymous.
